Insomnia
May 29, 2015
Every time I close my eyes,
I can feel it all, but nothing inside.
Every thing’s broken, but it won’t leave my mind.
I want to close these tired eyes, but I just can’t bring myself to sleep at night.
All of these thoughts overtake my place.
Can I make my case?
Skinny, fat, smart, stupid, mistake, perfect,
well they tell me I’m not.
This all hurts too much but I can’t stop this from itching my skin.
Why can’t I stop these thoughts from getting in?
